Rancher Continuous Delivery (known as Fleet) can be used in a workflow to deploy applications to many clusters. With its GitOps support, it enables downstream clusters to pull updates from a Git repository. We know of users that monitor several hundred Git repositories and deploy to a thousand clusters. To make this scale possible, several intermediate steps are necessary. First, the application is converted into separate bundles, which are then targeted at clusters.
